Ibn Muhysin Al-Makki and some examples from his odd readings (QIRAAT SHADHAH) with its guidance from Arabic language
Abstract
No doubt that reading the biographies of pious and honorable Imams from Hadith scholars and readers has many benefits. One of the greatest benefits is that it educates and civilizes souls. Imam Ibn Muhysin Al makki is one of those who can be imitated, may Allah be pleased with him, He was the most knowledgeable among the readers of Makka in grammars and Arabic language. He also had a choice in reading as he get it from the companions, peace be upon them, but his QIRAAT is now considered unusual and odd (SHADHAH) due to its irregularity among other readings (lack of TAWAATUR), So he became one of the four Imams with the considered unusual and odd readings: AL-HASAN AL-BASRI (died: 110 AH), IBN MUHAISIN AL-MAKKI (died: 123 AH), AL-A’MASH AL-KUFI (died: 148 AH), and Yahya al-Yazidi (died: 202 AH), their readings have been transmitted with authentic chains of transmission and were written down in specific books over centuries. Aldhabi considered him among the elite scholars of the readings. This is Imam Ibn e Muhysin Almakki.This is an abstract article in which I introduced the Imam with the summary of his biography as well as the bullets of those who narrated his readings from him, and then I mentioned some of the examples of his unusual and odd readings that contradicted the frequent readings (QIRAAT MOTAWATIRAH), with a mention of its guidance from Arabic language by referring to the original bases. The summary consists of an introduction and three chapters.
